Affinity groups are spaces where individuals with shared identities come together for discussions and reflections. Although each person may share multiple identities, affinity groups are intended for those who can speak to that group’s collective racial or ethnic identity and experience from the “we” or “I” perspective. These spaces are for participants to speak about your own identity, not to learn about the racial or ethnic identity of others.

As ACHA works to make these spaces more available in the future, opportunities will exist to allow for expansion. If you have interest in supporting spaces (to include LGBTQ+ and/or specific ethnic identities) for the ACHA 2024 Annual Meeting, please provide your information below.
